Milestones Celebrated in 2012 & 2013

THE HYDE COLLECTION

CELEBRATES MILESTONES

Glens Falls, NY – Hyde executive
director David F. Setford announces two important celebratory milestones in
2012 and 2013. Hyde House, the cornerstone of our museum and the former
home of museum founders Louis and Charlotte Hyde, is 100 years old this year.
On the National Register of Historic Places since 1984, the beautiful structure
has stood the test of time and is a testament to both the Hydes and its
architect, Henry Forbes Bigelow. And in 2013, look for more events as we will
celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Hyde Collection as a public
museum, with special programming to focus on that achievement.

“The next two years offers us the opportunity
to celebrate Mr. & Mrs. Hyde’s vision, their love of art and their strong
relationship to our community, both from personal and historical perspective.
As we look to the future, we are always reminded of their legacy and important
role we play as caretakers of this magnificent collection, the buildings and
campus as a whole,” says Mr. Setford.
